How do I (and should I) become an SEO consultant

So, I've been doing SEO for nearly 20 years now, but only for myself. I own a bunch of websites that pull in around 2.5 million uniques pcm and generate a six figure income every year. I have done this single handed. At the moment most of my sites look after themselves, with fairly regular, predictable input.

Given that I can put my money where my mouth is in terms of SEO I'd like to start doing some work for other people. I have done this in the past, but nothing structured, and it's been more for my benefit as I enjoy the challenge.

My question is what do I need to do to transfer my (often intuitive) skills and knowledge to a marketable prospect? My expertise is mainly in organic traffic and on-page / site structure. I understand link-building, but am more of a fan of create quality content and the rest will happen...

As a start I would be hoping to target websites with problems that can be fixed, rather than building on already successful sites, i.e. low hanging fruit.

I guess the other part of the question is what would I need in terms of tools and what do small / mid-sized clients expect to see in terms of process / approach?

Sorry if this is all a bit vague, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
